Nor am I directly related to the Rogers family, but am interested in the "Benjamin Duckworth caravan" from South Carolina! Several of my lines also came along this way and settled in Covington Co - 1815-1825. Since our ancestors usually traveled in groups (and I do have indirect connections to both Rogers and Duckworth), just wondering how much more you know about this trek? Any good stories about it you could share with us here?

While not directly related to the Rogers mentioned I do have quite a bit of info in my data base. Several Rogers married Duckworth's. The Duckworth family came to the area with a large caravan from SC led by the patriarch "Benjamin Duckworth". Among those who came with him were two of his children that married Thompson's.
